I have a new sleep hack for you today!
These popsicles are full of sleepy foods that will help your little ones rest. The fun part is, that it comes in the form of a popsicle! What kiddo wouldn’t say heck yes to a popsicle at 7:00pm?
I’ve mentioned the power of bananas to help kids sleep so we’re putting a few of them into a popsicle that I hope will help your kids fall asleep at night.

Want to know why your baby isn’t sleeping through the night? Answer these questions and you’ll find out.
Sleepytime Popsicles
Here is what you need:
- 1 1/2 cup of tart cherry juice
- 1/2 a banana
- 1/2 cup of vanilla greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup of almond milk
Put all of your ingredients into a blender and mix together. You can slightly adjust the amount of tart cherry juice and banana if one of the flavors is too strong for your kids – adding more banana or less cherry juice. However, I would at least use one full cup of juice and half of a banana.
Pour the mixture into your popsicle mold and let it freeze for a few hours. Hand them over to your kids and enjoy!
If the sun is setting and you need to make popsicles quick, keep a Zoku on hand. This thing makes popsicles ready to eat in under seven minutes – no waiting for them to freeze all day!
If you are looking for help for your baby to sleep, this sleep course is seriously awesome. It is full of brilliant ideas to get your baby sleeping.
I hope this great combination of super sleepy foods in the form of a fun popsicle will help your kids to sleep.

Love me some YL Lavender oil….Knocks my husband out quick!
Good intentions, however the sugars that coat their soft baby teeth and linger during their sleeping hours will rot their teeth.
That’s why you have them brush their teeth before bed!
Great ideas wonder if you can do this and make pudding pops
I have the same popsicle molds, but cannot recall their brand. I just remember buying them at a grocery store in Bainbridge Island in Seattle. Can you let me know please? Thanks 😊
Will sleepy time popsicles work for adults?
Where do you buy tart cherry juice from?
Publix
Does this work on adults too?
Could these be used for adults and do you have to use Greek yogurt I don’t care for the taste of it
This looks so yummy. Thanks for the recipe.
